Innocence is presumed in all cases (military and criminal) and since all of the individuals haven't been convicted yet, there more certainly are "innocent" people in Gitmo, at least with regard to their specific crimes.

It appears to me that you don't really understand our judicial system. We most certainly do incarcerate innocent people, I'm sure a great number of people in our prisons today are innocent.

There's also the minor issue to consider that a number of Gitmo detainees have been cleared for release, but no countries are willing to take them in, especially because they're terrorists and want to kill innocent people.

Your post implies these people have had access to Habeas Corpus rights.

Actually no, it doesn't.

Sorry you posted it....

Not for Gitmo detainees. We have released people from Gitmo that were innocent ...and were tortured.

Do you even know the meaning of the words you are using?

Specifically I'm looking at the definitions of innocent, torture, and Habeas Corpus.

If you don't know the meaning of these words, that's fine, just admit that you're spewing political crap and we can move on to the insults and personal attacks.

But if you're interested in serious debate, at least try to make an effort.

Sorry, war is hell. When you are on the battlefield with people who are shooting at us. We have the right to detain you. It has been that way in EVERY WAR we have EVER been in. Sorry, that is just a fact.

...and were tortured.

Bull shit. They are treated better than they are in their own countries. You seem VERY willing to take their word for it. I have seen no verdict that says we tortured those we found innocent at Gitmo.

Do you mean the Habeas Corpus rights that have been expanded to cover people it NEVER covered before???

Habeas Corpus rights cover more people now, BECAUSE of President Bush, than at any time in our history.

Now, admittedly, President Bush was unwilling in this endeavor. He was working under the existing law of the time and fought this unwarranted and idiotic expansion.
